Ingredients

• 4 pieces large baking potatoes
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the baking potatoes thoroughly and pierce each one several times with a fork.

Step 3

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until soft and fully cooked.

Step 4

While the potatoes are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 7

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 8

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, if necessary.

Step 9

Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend. Remove from heat.

Step 10

Once the potatoes are done baking, carefully cut a slit along the top of each potato and gently press the sides to open them up slightly.

Step 11

Scoop out a small amount of the potato flesh (about 1-2 tablespoons) from each potato to create more room for the filling. Reserve the scooped-out flesh for another use, if desired.

Step 12

Fill each potato with the cooked hamburger mixture, dividing it evenly among the four potatoes.

Step 13

Top each stuffed potato with shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 14

Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 15

Remove the stuffed potatoes from the oven and garnish with sliced green onions.

Step 16

Serve hot, optionally topped with sour cream, and enjoy!
